The infamous Shirou quote was a subbing oddity and really has little meaning, though I guess it's sorta ironic. It was intensified with DEEN's tendency to portray him as a blabbering moron, and frankly like most things Deen "adapted", should be disregarded.

Though I suppose I never really fear anyone suffering a fatal injury in this series. At least that's not my first thought. It does feel like more of an inconvenience to have your health depleted, so it's sorta more video game damage to me. This all kinda reminds me of modern games that "defeat" or "down" the characters instead of implying you died. That's not really something I object to; it's just a simplification that equates to "you fucked up, you idiot, now go again"

It is still better than DBZ though where you go "Meh, Krillin will come back anyways". /insert Signum joke here.
